Now you have to retire! Team India's doors closed forever for these 4 players

601117 Bcci Team India

New Delhi: There are four players of the Indian team who can say goodbye to cricket any time. These players have been dropped from the team. The careers of these players who have played international matches for India are almost over. It seems impossible for him to return to the team. But these players have not yet announced their retirement. His return to Indian cricket seems difficult. Let's take a look at these four players.

1. Bhuvneshwar Kumar
When Bhuvneshwar Kumar started his career in 2012, his swing bowling was his strength and it is still his strength, but recently his performance has been very poor. Even in Test cricket, Bhuvneshwar has proved his mettle with his swing bowling, but unfortunately Bhuvi has been in and out of the team several times due to injury. Due to an injury in 2018, Bhuvi had to step away from the longer format of Test cricket and since then he has not got a chance to play a single Test. Now it is clear that Test cricket is over for Bhuvi. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has played all three formats for India. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has taken 63 wickets in 21 Test matches, 141 wickets in 121 ODI matches and 90 wickets in 87 T20 matches for India. He has been out of Team India's Test team for the last 6 years. After the Test match, now he is being dropped from the ODI and T20 team also. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has lost the rhythm now, initially he had the rhythm where he used to swing the ball and take wickets, but now he is coming and bowling, but maybe he has lost that accuracy.

2. Wriddhiman Saha
Wriddhiman Saha is a very good wicketkeeper. However, now he is not getting a chance to play in Test cricket. Saha made his Test debut in 2010 against South Africa. Saha has played only 40 Test matches since then. Regarding 40-year-old Wriddhiman Saha, the Indian team management told the selectors that he will not be included in future plans. He was shown the door during the Test series against Sri Lanka in the year 2022. Now this player's hopes of returning to the Test team are almost over. Talking about Saha's Test career, he has scored 1353 runs in 40 Test matches at an average of 29.41. During this period, 3 centuries and 6 half-centuries have been seen from his bat.

3. Karun Nair
When Karun Nair scored a triple century in the Chennai Test against England, it seemed as if Nair was a long-haul horse, but that was not the case. After the triple century, his performance was not good and he was dropped from the team. Karun Nair made his Test debut against England in November 2016. After this, he last played against Australia in March 2017. He has played only six Test matches in his career and has scored 74 runs at an average of 62.33. His highest score in Test has been 303 runs.

4. Ishant Sharma
Team India's fast bowler Ishant Sharma's international career is almost over. Ishant last played against New Zealand during the Kanpur Test in November 2021. He did not get any wicket in that match. Since then he has not watched a match for Team India. Competition is continuously increasing in Team India and good fast bowlers are emerging one after the other. In such a situation, Ishant Sharma's return to the team does not seem possible. Ishant has played more than 100 test matches for India and has taken 311 wickets. Now Ishant is seen playing only in IPL. In such a situation, his international career is almost over.
